19-69: Iconic pop culture moments in a bottle
19-69 was founded by Swedish artist Johan Bergelin in collaboration with his wife. The brand has been producing special perfumes, scented candles, and hand sanitizers since 2017. Johan Bergelin’s birth year serves as a creative anchor: 1969 stands for freedom, tolerance, and counterculture. Many significant moments in pop culture took place around this iconic year, embodying this atmosphere of freedom. 19-69 interprets some of these events in olfactory form and keeps them alive in the form of perfumes and scented candles.
Johan Bergelin and his muse, modern culture
Culture, music, and art – the years around 1969 had a lot to offer and also shaped later decades. The 19-69 perfumes capture iconic moments in pop history: from the Summer of Love to politically motivated art projects such as John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Bed-ins for Peace,” to places of musical history such as the influential record label Factory Records and its revolutionary electronic music.
In addition to stories, Johan Bergelin says he is also inspired by people. He surrounds himself with creative individuals and exchanges ideas with them. He is inspired by how artists identify with their opinions and convey them to the world through their work. This attitude toward artistic work also shaped the creation of the 19-69 brand.
19-69 – perfume and candles inspired by art and hippie mentality
The first five perfumes from 19-69 were launched in 2017 after Johan Bergelin spent two years working on his creations with perfumers from Scandinavia, France, and Italy. The names of the fragrances refer more or less directly to the history that inspired them, revealing their core essence. The colors of the bottles also refer to the individual vibe of the iconic moment that served as the muse for each fragrance. It is no coincidence that the overall color scheme is reminiscent of a rainbow, the symbol of peace and freedom that was so important during the hippie era and the Summer of Love.
The perfumes from 19-69 can be worn by all genders. To get to know the brand, Discovery Sets with three or seven fragrance samples are available. For hygienic and fragrant moments on the go, the fragrances from 19-69 are also available as hand sanitizers.
All 19-69 products are handmade, so there may be slight individual variations from item to item, which add to their character. The bottles of 19-69 perfumes are painted and printed in Italy.
Johan Bergelin’s fragrance creations are also available as candles that fill your home with legendary stories from modern culture. The candles from 19-69 are also made in Italy. The brand uses vegetable waxes and a traditional recipe from 1961. The burn time of 19-69 candles is approximately 48 hours.
